Instructions

  • Step 1
  • Cut lamb into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until lamb is coated.
  • Chef's Tip
    Marinating the lamb for at least 20 minutes will enhance the depth of flavor.
  • Step 2
  • Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Step 3
  • Grill the lamb skewers, turning occasionally, until cooked to desired doneness, about 12-15 minutes for medium.
  • Chef's Tip
    A light charring on the lamb adds a smoky flavor. Avoid over-grilling as it can toughen the meat.
  • Step 4
  • Dice cucumber, halve cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion. Toss together with remaining lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh mint. Season with salt to taste.
  • Chef's Tip
    To add a crunch and refreshing contrast, chill the cucumber salad before serving.
  • Step 5
  • Serve lamb kebabs over the prepared cucumber salad.
Bon appétit!
